[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1407977, member: 4441"] *The beholder looks at Grim for a moment (and the 11-eyed stare of a beholder is not something anyone wants to endure for long), then finally consents to speak.* "I was looking for something to eat. These tunnels were supposed to be free of those scum... They've expanded their patrols. But they're dead now. I ate the two littlest ones, but there should be plenty left for you. Where are you off to?" it asks gruffly. ~~~~~~~~~~~ *Zykovian, the gnome woman gasps and grabs her child. Raffie promptly drops the knife and both of their faces become masks of fear.* "Please m'lord! Don't kill us, I'm sorry! I was just afraid that Raffie wouldn't be able to defend himself if there's a raid. I know it's against the law m'lord, but I was so afraid for him!" the gnome woman says. Raids by rebels are not exactly common, but there are enough of them to be a worry. Slaves have died in them before, particularly those ordered to act as a rear guard for the half-dragon and dragonkin overseers. Those that defend their draconic masters are often treated no different than dragons by the rebels. *Raffie is almost old enough, by your reckoning, to enter the workforce as an apprentice miner, which is probably the reason for the illegal lesson.* [/QUOTE]
